z Recommend of lubricating oil Initial factory fill is high quality break-in oil for API Service CH-4 grade. During the break-in period, frequently check the oil level. Somewhat higher oil consumption is normal until piston rings are seated. The oil level should be maintained in the safe range between the Min. and Max. mark on the dipstick. To obtain the best engine performance and engine life, Engine oil is specified by API service, lettered designations and SAE viscosity numbers. If the specified engine oil is not available, use a reputable brand of engine oil labeled for API Service CH-4 and SAE viscosity 15W40.
Refer to oil identification symbol on the container Engine oil viscosity - ambient temperature SAE 20, 20W SAE 40, 50 Single grade SAE 10W SAE 30 Ambient temp (-20 F) -30 C -15 C (-0 F) -0 C (-32 F) 15 C (60 F) 25 C (80 F) 30 C (90 F) Multi grade SAE 5W - 20 EA4M1008 4.6.3. Refilling with oil z Refill with fresh engine oil at the oil filler neck. z After refilling with oil, rotate the engine with the starter and move the shut-down lever to “stop” at the same time until the oil pressure warning light goes out and the oil pressure gauge shows a pressure. z Then start the engine and allow it to run at medium speed for a few minutes. Check oil pressure and z Then shut down the engine.
After about 5 minutes, check the oil level. The oil level should now be at tightness of system. the upper notch of the dipstick, but not higher. z Add any necessary oil to the upper dipstick mark. Commissioning and Operation - 102 - SAE 10W - 30 - 40, 20W - 50
